Services
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists and the American Dental Association both recommend that a child's first dental visit should occur within six months after the first tooth appears, but no later than the child's first birthday. At LifeSmiles Pediatric Dentistry, we focus on behavioral needs and providing age-appropriate care to create a friendly, open environment.
We offer pediatric laser dentistry to children in Livingston County and the surrounding areas. Laser dentistry is incredibly versatile, cutting-edge, and plays an important role in a growing number of common dental procedures. At LifeSmiles Pediatric Dentistry, we believe in making your child's dental experience as fear-free and pain-free as possible.
The oral hygiene and nutritional habits children develop early in life are the habits they carry into adulthood. We're passionate about instilling healthy habits in our patients through education and instruction. Taking actions to prevent a problem is far easier and more affordable than treating one later on.
Cavities are out of your control-but you can choose where your child gets their filling! At LifeSmiles, we do everything possible to make it a comfortable, pleasant experience. Dr. Gail uses advanced technology and techniques to eliminate discomfort and maximize effectiveness. When it comes to your child's filling, we're here to make the experience better for everyone!
A dental crown is a type of restoration that improves the size, strength, and overall structure of a tooth. They offer a long-term solution for decayed or damaged teeth, eliminating the need for ongoing treatments during your child's development. Dental decay can put children at risk for losing a baby tooth too early.

I am so thankful for Dr. Gail and the entire staff—cannot recommend them enough! The office is incredibly clean; you can tell that health and safety is a top priority. I’m a first-time mom whose infant saw Dr. Gail for tongue and lip tie revisions. I was so nervous, but everyone there was patient and knowledgeable and helped me feel confident in the procedure. My baby is able to latch better and is so much happier after the procedure. Forever grateful!

My 8 yr old son was terrified of the dentist from his past experience elsewhere. DR. Gail and staff worked so well with him each appointment. Even was willing to break the appointments up so it wasnt so much on him in one day. If he needed breaks during his fillings they would allow it. So understanding to the childrens needs. Love how nice all of the staff members are when speaking to the children. They make you feel very comfortable. Hands down the best pediatric dentist office. You will not be disappointed!

Dr. Gail and the team at LifeSmiles are amazing! We started taking our 3 girls (now 7, 5, & 3) there and couldn't be happier. 7 year old had a little accident at school where she tripped and hit her mouth on a desk. Was in pain for a few days, so we brought her in for X-rays. No need! Dr. Gail knew right away what the problem was and said she could make the pain disappear immediately... With a laser! My daughter and I were both stunned at how easy and effective the process was. The pain was completely gone in about 90 seconds and the whole process took less than 5 minutes. Absolutely amazing stuff

Amazing dentist for young kids! My 4 year old went there for his first dentist appointment and loved it! He had to go back for a crown due to an infection and even after that he asks to go back because he had so much fun! The kids get to watch a TV on the ceiling with a variety of shows and movies. The rooms have different themes without being cheesy. The staff is great with the kids as well. Overall we love that we found this dentist for our kids!

I waited a month for an appointment to begin treatment for my son. Dr.Gail was very nice and kind during the consultation. My son’s appointment to begin treatment was to be tomorrow, 10/28. I received a call informing me that the mask rule would be in effect. The previous time we were at the office, we were allowed in without masks. This phone call caught me off guard and I responded harshly. The phone call with Lisa ended with her telling me that she would speak to Dr.Gail and call me back. This morning I humbled myself and wrote an email saying that I would do as they asked. This afternoon

My son was told at another dentist that he would need oral surgery because they could not fill all of his cavities in the office. I called up LifeSmiles, they fit him right into their schedule, and they were able to complete his procedures without surgery. They were calm and patient, and my son actually enjoyed visiting there. I was allowed to be in the room the entire time, holding his hand. Even though we live an hour away, the drive is seriously worth it!

We love LifeSmiles!! As a family of 6 we have had a few different dentists in our day and this place is by far the best, with a family feel. My kids have always been afraid of going to see a dentist until we found LifeSmiles. My 6 year old walks back with the staff without mommy with no problem and that was as early as our 2nd visit. Dr. Gail gets on the child's level and it relaxes them almost instantly. Dr. Gail uses cute kid words like "sugar bugs" to help a child relax and understand. She does this while still making parents feel important too. Dr. Gail and her staff are friendly and professional

My 7 year old daughter is a new patient of Dr. Gail's and she had her first appointment today. The staff were absolutely amazing and friendly from the first phone call to set up the appointment through the entirety of the exam. My daughter was happy and comfortable the entire time, which is so important seeing that many little ones are afraid of the dentist! I was also VERY impressed with the safety procedures and protocols that are being enforced in the middle of the pandemic to ensure that EVERYONE who visits can feel that their health (parents and children) means something to this practice.
